Virtual Author Talk! Javier Zamora On Childhood Migration from Central America

TCPL is excited to offer a series of Virtual Author Talks!

Javier Zamora

On Childhood Migration from Central America

Tune in for a conversation with New York Times bestselling author Javier Zamora as he chats with us about his riveting tale of survival and perseverance as told in his award-winning memoir Solito.  

Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador through Guatemala, Mexico, and the U.S. border. At nine years old, Javier cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests, and deceptions that await him, nor can he know that two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.

Solito provides an immediate and intimate account of a treacherous and near-impossible journey and the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.
